Profile

I provide a flexible service for adult individuals and adult couples on a private basis, ranging from brief counselling to longer term psychotherapy. Clients may be self-referred or referred through other sources, including other agencies, employee assistance programmes, GP's, solicitors and insurance companies. I accept referrals on a very broad range of presenting issues and clients come to me from across Ayrshire and beyond.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

My initial training was as a dental surgeon, before retraining as a counsellor. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and I am an Accredited Member of BACP and adhere to BACP's 'Ethical Framework'. I am also a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor and Psychotherapist. My main approach within an integrative context is cognitive behavioural, but I work flexibly depending upon each client's needs and very much value and integrate both person-centred and psychodynamic models into my approach. I furthered my training by completing an MSc in Counselling Studies at Edinburgh University in 2007 and regularly attend relevant courses to continue my professional development. As well as working within the private sector, I have several years experience working within an NHS Primary Care Clinic where I accepted referrals from GP's. I have therefore gained considerable experience working with a wide variety of clients and presenting issues. I am now also employed by the Meningitis Trust as their counsellor across Ayrshire.
